Sweet potatoes are the tuberous roots of vining plants. They are often called Yams, although they are not a true Yam. The orange fleshed sweet potatoes are the most familiar, but sweet potatoes can be white, yellow and even purple.
Sweet potatoes are usually grown from slips; small rooted pieces of tuber. Pot immediately into small pots of multi-purpose compost. Keep the compost moist, using tepid water. Cover the pots with a clear plastic bag or place them in an unheated propagator, until they root.
